Manny Machado GTD

FPPG: 20.6  |  FanDuel Salary: $3,500

Manny Machado (ankle) at DH Wednesday for Padres

San Diego Padres infielder Manny Machado (ankle) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Machado tweaked his ankle in extra-innings on Tuesday night, so he will stay out of the field Wednesday afternoon. Matt Batten will cover the hot corner and hit ninth.

Machado has a $4,000 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.5 FanDuel points. Batten has a $2,000 salary and is projected for 6.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres’ implied total (3.69) is No. 20 out of 28 active teams Wednesday.
